Mega64 posted:I've been watching someone cover every single Famicom game, and it's funny that the real reason games were overall (but not always!) harder there wasn't because companies felt Americans couldn't handle hard games, but because most of the games had unbalanced and lovely difficulty that got somewhat fixed in international releases. And this flipped as soon as game rentals in America became mainstream while staying illegal in Japan. They started making us version releases bullshit on purpose so it couldn't be beat in a weekend

Augus posted:tbh when you get to a certain amount of granularity with a dozen sliders it sorta does start to feel like they’re just asking the player to be the designer. Like, do they really expect people to intuitively know how many frames the parry window should be and how long roll invincibility should last for them to enjoy the game?

Even a great puzzle game like Outer Wilds frustrated me in a few spots and I went to get a FAQ, because it's often hard to tell if you're doing the right thing wrong and just need another try, or just doing the wrong thing. I got my kid Link's awakening from the library for this spring break and I'm hoping to find a guide to print out for him , because he absolutely hit a wall and gave up on it last time we tried it out. When there's so many other things to play the idea of beating your head against a wall isn't even something he can comprehend.

Just give them a pdf of the Fiftieth issue of Nintendo Power, then let them figure out the last two-thirds of the game.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:No, I looked and it was Maximum Velocity. There used to be a way to get a code to unlock the fastest racer but Nintendo has stopped generating codes, according to the GameFAQs thing I checked. You could still unlock Jet Vermillion without any codes, you just had to -Clear every cup -on Master -with every other machine See, nothing crazy or unreasonable at all.

DLC Inc posted:Indie devs should pivot from these genres to doing games in whatever genre you would consider Burnout Revenge There's a phone game called Airplane Crash Madness which is low-budget Burnout crash mode but with aircraft like the 'Boning B52'. The app description was copied from another game when I downloaded it and it has insane adverts for other free to play titles. I cannot recommend this enough.

i could never get into the souls games but i loved blasphemous. i beat the regular game and all 3 of the different challenge modes. beating crisanta when only having the MP potions felt like quite the accomplishment. i bought the 2nd game but haven't played it much. i was impressed when i ran from one of the red hood guys and he climbed down from his platform after me

Just a note of switch related suffering. A couple of weeks ago there was an incident where one of my kids was getting out of the car and knocked his brother’s switch out of his hands. It ate pavement and cracked the joy con. I let him pick a set of replacement shells and he picked the skyward sword ones. ($5 on Temu). They arrived yesterday and I put them on tonight. That took me like 2 hours. So many tiny screws. I feel like I’m getting too old to mess with projects that small. I could have modded several GameCubes in that time. The result was still good but I wish replacement shells also would come with replacement screws for the shell body. If anyone wants a grey right joy con shell body hit me up and you can have it.

Thanks to whoever mentioned Tails of Iron 2 - it lead to me grabbing the first one. Good game. At first I regretted playing on normal difficulty but a few more deaths and I got used to the combat enough. Finished main story and now working through the post game content. Enjoyable - downside is it does like to crash every now and then. Most annoyingly was when I had just beat the final boss and it was travelling to the main area and then froze up. Got to beat the final boss again.

Tails of iron was a teeny bit laggy and unenjoyable last time I played it on the switch, did they optimize it a little in the latest patches? Also, my wife saw an ad for Switch Sports and asked for it. Considering it's the most gamey thing that ever caught her interest I think I'm gonna get it. Is it good? Never played the wii ones and the only sport minigames I've ever got were ps1/2 olympics joypad destroyers. Wait, maybe even some ancient ones on a C64.
